Benny, Thanks for sure, Glad you like him so much. He's actually going over to your part of the globe to a certain box maker who has touched us all I think?

Hi Ben, yes I knew about this swap and I'm happy happy happy for France wich will host this treasure, happy for Laojia the genius box/bench maker, and happy for me because I know that Laojia is nice enough to show it to me when will meet next time and maybe I'll touch it ... yipee !

TikiG, Many thanks for all the kind words, I've been wanting to use that malachite piece ever since I broke the ash tray but the first time I put a grinder to it the black dust that came forth was horrendous. So when trying to determine what to use for these eyes I came across this stuff in a box of Abalone shells I had and there it is, Glad you like it. Happy about the "finger print" stuff, hadn't thought of it that way but it works, Thanks again.

Thanks TheBigT, love hearing your positive feelings.

Benella, thanks, looks like you may be seeing this guy soon then but careful with the touch?

Jerome, Thanks and we will definitely get that word to benella lest he lose a finger or 3.

Too much goodness! Now you'll have to get yourself a pet hog and carve his live tusks! Then add to the design as he grows... that's the only way I can see you topping these.

Thanks for the visit today Benz. The tiki looks great. When i got home I had some Honey-dos, but after I dove into tusk and really like it. it is harder than the bone which is nice. I always thought the bone was a little soft. Pictures soon.

Thanks T-Mango, a Pet hog sounds pretty cool, and carving his tusks will be easy if I can get YOU to Hold him down while I do it?

Seeks, thanks, I'm just trying to make it look good and follow the drawing I tried to do on it, hopefully it will stay outta the "Box".

Nomolos, Thnaks.

Laojia,thank you too, Glad you like the toggle. Isn't that what started this whole thing??

Aloha Station, no, it's thank YOU for the visit, it was you and Will who visited me, remember? Really cool stuff you are working on, Will too!
Glad you like the tusk can't wait to see it?

Right!

Laojia, If I remember it was for a Gator tooth to be carved with the spirals as a pendant with a toggle of I presume another Gator tooth.
SO Is that what I should go back to?
Too Late as I have already carved an Ivory Wart Hog Tusk with a carved Gators tooth and pieces will be be exchanged and waving Hello out the Airplane window between here and France
COOL!

Blowfish, When IS your next Photo Shoot and Where is your next photo shoot, We could make arrangements though this guy gets a bit clingie when he thinks he has found a new home.
Blowfish, I still have a few stamps started and not quite complete too perhaps they can be part of a big deal??

Clarita, Thanks for the kind words and Why the Sigh..?

The one side is about finished now and will finish on the next side soon. don't have photos yet but will try to get some tonight.
Happy Happy Happy !
